The waterslide made to look like the type Mayan Temple found in Mexico sends terrified thrill-seekers up to 35-miles-per-hour down a 60-foot-long chute through a tunnel surrounded by 14-foot-long nurse sharks and Caribbean Reef sharks swimming in crystal clear waters.Aptly called “The Leap of Faith” – the terror-slide is part of the incredible Aquaventure, Paradise Island resort of the Bahamas. Vice President of Marine Operations, Mark Gsellman explained why the slide is so popular with the visitors to his resort
